Hudson Contract’s unique pay data was recently featured in the Daily Mail, when freelance electricians’ average earnings hit an all-time high of £1,165 a week in October – and significantly more in the East of England.

Hudson Contract Managing Director Ian Anfield says: “I’m particularly pleased this news was picked up by a national newspaper and getting the message across to a huge audience that a career in construction can be so well paid.  If the story inspires even a few youngsters to become apprentice electricians, I will be very pleased indeed.”
